Rating: 5/5Has worked without flaw

Pros: This card runs everything I put at it. I have had it for over a year, and have had zero issues with it. I've only kept it at stock settings, and it works great. It stays quite cool, and is not loud at all in my case.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I don't know why I see so many bad reviews for every card out there. It seems everyone has issues with EVERY card there is. Issues must happen to people because of PEBKAC. This card has worked flawless for me.

Rating: 1/5not worth the money

Pros: Dumps heat outside the case not like those garbage cards that dump heat in the case. What kind of dope wants GPU heat dumped in the case..Thats beyond stupid

Cons: Warranty support is a worse than X.... F..... X.... Send warranty info for RMA. Made a mistake. They ask me for the info. Resend what is needed in a few minutes. IGNORED, 3 weeks go by and no response. Lets not even mention its weak performance.. live and learn. I had forgotten all about the card until cleaning up after XMAS.. HIS will ignore you when you send them the info they ask for.

Other Thoughts: Ask around about the warranty service. X F X and H I S think WEEKS are an acceptable turnaround for an RMA.NO ADVANCE EXCHANGE.They will send you back a PieceOfS NON reference card and LIE that they don't have the reference card anymore. Funny how I can still purchase it EVERYWHERE I look for it.

Other Thoughts: Emailed RMA request form to HIS and have not heard back since. Re emailed the RMA request form and have STILL not heard back. Not even a denial of RMA for whatever reason they could conjure up. Will not be supporting this company if this continues.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Clay,

Thank you for support in HIS. We are sorry for your situation.

We would like to have our local distributor to handle the product replacement for you.Please fill out our online form http://www.lexycomp.com/forms/rma.pdf and return the form with a proof of purchase to Lexy Pacific by fax, mail or email for following up.

Other Thoughts: I needed a computer ASAP and was dead set on the 6870 and this was the only one in stock for about a 4 day period. I was fairly unsure of whether this was a good purchase due to the high price tag (a $40 premium) and the HIS name.

After using it for a couple weeks, I can say I am content...just content though. Several games have shown artifacts which worries me for the future. However, it runs everything smoothly, has no caused any BSODs, and runs super quiet and cool.

If these artifacts keep appearing, there may be an RMA in my future. Stay tuned.

Rating: 4/5Pretty good.

Pros: It performs great. Haven't found anything to throw at it that it couldn't handle. Most review show it easily outperforming fermi 460's and trading blows with 470's.

Also, it's surprisingly quiet for what it is - I upgraded to this from a pair of crossfired passive 5750's, thinking I was giving up silence, but it's still actually pretty quiet.

Cons: ATI isn't quite as clear a price/performance winner this generation as they were last gen. Whether this or a 470 is a better deal depends on which has the better sale at the time.

Other Thoughts: Didn't really care about the overclock. In fact, might end up underclocking it if doing so can get it even quieter. But the sale that day put this as the best affordable, so this was it.

Rating: 4/5A nice card

Pros: The card runs cool, around 40 degrees celsius idle at 21% fan speed and is virtually silent. When under load as in playing crysis ive caught temps as high as 75 degrees celsius and the fan becomes slightly audible but definitely nothing distracting. Crysis runs like a dream at a resolution of 1400X900 with very high quality settings and 2X AA. it averages 45 FPS with a minimum framerate of 29 FPS. I can live with that.

Cons: This card is over priced. I only bought it because the other cheaper cards were out of stock and i saw prices ramping up. I would have bought the PowerColor for 239 had it been in stock. The mild overclock was never a factor in buying it, i just wanted one and i wanted it now. These cards overclock pretty well so if you want to save some money just tweak the clocks yourself on one of the cheaper cards.

Other Thoughts: The power connectors are on the side so if you have limited room for it (its 10.3 inches long) this helps from having the cables bent up or down extremely butted up against a drive or other device. It also comes with 2 adapters the convert 2 IDE power connectors to 2 six pin molex connectors so if you dont have them that may save you from buying another power supply. My powersupply is a 500 watt sustainable 600 watt peak RocketFish and has never had a problem with this card.
